3 SWEET JERRY BALLEDS IN THE 2ND SET AND A CRISP SOUNDBOARD! WHO CAN ASK FOR MORE?

Subject: Day Job IS here and is track 11
Day Job is after the first set but before the second set which is why the track names are wrong after this point.

The show itself was hampered by technical problems which resulted in the band actually taking a break half way through. The band had returned for Keep On Growing which is my favorite version simple because of the energy it give off here. The entire second set is pretty nice too with the highlights being Playing->China Doll->Jam and Comes A Time.

Subject: Best Transfer Available of standout 80s show
You gotta love how the boys we're varying their set-lists so much in 1985. The song selection and set placement show them really making an effort to truly never play the same show twice.

This Miller transfer is the best available of the first night of their 20th anniversary run at the Greek.

Yeah there's some sound problems. Charlie's transfer masks the worst of it. Jerry is too often low in the mix imho.

The sound montage before Dew in the second set is kind of goofy, but brief. Maybe you just had to be there.

* First performance of Derek and the Dominoes "Keep On Growing". Yeah, they fuck it up. The best version is Merriweather 1985.6.30, by far. It's better rehearsed by then or something.
** First Morning Dew to open a set since probably 1973 (?)

Some mistakes along the way but the performance effort is present and actively focused. Certainly worth the download for historical posterity and unique setlist perhaps above the performance quality. This was the first show on a VERY good tour, and is probably beat by the last night of the Greek Run, The Blossom Music Center show, The Hershey Park show, and the Merriweather show.

Thanks for the upgrade!

PS- List of songs is labeled incorrectly starting with the second set. Song labeled "Morning Dew" is actually tuning segment with a one song behind labeling error thereafter. Because of this the "Keep Your Day Job" encore is actually "Sugar Magnolia" with the real Day Job absent from this transfer.... Doesn't bother me.
